Addition

Each locale has left the permalink in their locale’s language. for example:

Which URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org pattern is better from an SEO perspective? It might be better if we have every translated lesson plan permalink as.

Some suggestion

  • language-name/lesson-plan-name -> /hindi/how-to-create-a-lesson-plan
